After a 2025 French Open final that featured major stars on both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s sides, TNT Sports saw an expected viewership decline this year absent any star power.<\/p>\n
Sunday\u2019s men\u2019s final between German Alexander Zverev and Italian Flavio Cobolli averaged just 1.3 million viewers across TNT and truTV, marking a 20-year viewership low for the event, per data from Sports Business Journal<\/a>. Zverev\u2019s win, the first grand slam title of his career, notched a 25% year-over-year decline versus the 2025 men\u2019s final<\/a> between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner (1.76 million viewers on TNT\/truTV).<\/p>\n The women\u2019s final on Saturday was down an even greater deal on a percentage basis, though did not hit a multi-decade low like the men. Mirra Andreeva\u2019s win over long-shot qualifier Maja Chwalinska drew just 826,000 viewers across TNT and truTV, down 44% versus last year\u2019s star-studded final between Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka (1.47 million viewers on TNT\/truTV). The 2024 women\u2019s final between Iga Swiatek and Jasmine Paolini captured a smaller audience, just 756,000 viewers on NBC.<\/p>\n The downturn in viewership was to be expected when comparing the level of recognition this year\u2019s quartet of finalists have compared to last year\u2019s finalists, which featured arguably the two biggest names in men\u2019s tennis and the most popular women\u2019s tennis player in the United States.<\/p>\n Despite the lackluster finals, TNT was able to stay relatively level in terms of viewership for the full tournament. Per Sports Business Journal, the network averaged 387,000 viewers across all windows, down 1% from the network\u2019s inaugural French Open last year (390,000 viewers). HBO Max saw a 23% increase in number of hours streamed per subscriber.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a 2025 French Open final that featured major stars on both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s sides, TNT…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":700116,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[12082,4039,99,428,280760],"class_list":["post-700115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-alexander-zverev","tag-french-open","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-tennis-on-tnt"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/700115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=700115"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/700115\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/700116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=700115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=700115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=700115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
